With hugely consequential elections taking place in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has never been a more important time to stand up for our voting rights.

Please join this DA Voter Protection action, co-hosted with DAUK Voter Registration, to raise our voices to help ensure that all American citizens, at home and abroad, can participate in safe and fair elections.

Actions will focus on: saving the USPS, promoting vote by mail, early and safe in-person voting for Americans at home, ballot returns via email and a web portal for Americans overseas.

Further details will be sent via email announcement so watch this space for more information or contact: voterprotection@democratsabroad.org

Join us to socialize with your fellow Oxford chapter members. It will be a chance to commiserate, talk about our experiences of the city at this time, and discuss opportunities for activism and carrying on our important work in light of the situation. Together we can find ways to help overseas Americans to vote even in these trying times.
